Diabetus (Lets Play) | comment |
Ben "Diabetus" Whitfield is a Let's Player — one of the first, in fact, originating from Something Awful. He's known for his Battletoads Let's Plays, which turned into a kind of motif for him, as well as a memetic run of Captain Novolin. He hails from Alabama (which he often makes jokes about it), is good friends with slowbeef, and has a pretty laid-back personality.Aside from his own LPs, he's also known for being the co-founder of Retsupurae, along with slowbeef.You can find his videos here, here, and here.Note: This page is for tropes pertaining to Diabetus's Let's Plays. Tropes pertaining to Retsupurae and Webcam Ward should go here. | |

Heroic BSoD: Done rather literally in the Metroid Fusion LP. After Diabetus forgets to save after defeating Yakuza and gets sent back before the boss fight, the video immediately cuts to a test pattern and ends. | |

Hourglass Plot: The entirety of the Parallel Worlds LP. Zomodok goes through the motions of getting frustrated and driven into hysterics by the game's difficulty while Diabetus pokes fun at him for it. Then when Diabetus takes over as the player, Zomodok returns as a guest in one of the final videos reveling in Diabetus's frustration by poking fun at him for it. | |

Relax-o-Vision: Used during Diabetus's run of Parallel Worlds during a particular vexing point where a door doesn't open and traps him inside a room, forcing him to restart. But not before going on a seething tirade interspersed with this trope. Bonus points for using footage by the trope namer. | |

Take Up My Sword: During his stint as fellow goon Zomodok's co-commentator for Let's Play Parallel Worlds (a stupidly hard romhack of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past), he takes over the entire Let's Play when Zomodok opts out of playing the rest of the second quest. | |

Later, when Mecca did a 100% run LP of the game, Diabetus guest-hosted... for the video which featured the Yakuza fight, complete with a black-and-white cutaway of Diabetus' gibberish-filled rematch from his own LP. | |
